We all like Monta... but Ike is just as big of a rising star (if not more). Don't forget whose gonna start next year.

Firstly, Monta finished stronger last season and someone that didn't know much about the Warriors but just saw the games would say that Monta is the rising star and Diogu is still just a prospect but I agree with you that both are rising stars.

Secondly, I'm not so sure Diogu will start! Nelson might think that he is too much of a half court player and that Murphy is better at PF with that outside shot of his. I don't think that should be what happens but it is likely with Nelson to put Murphy at PF and either Foyle (unlikely but to start the season you never know) or Biedrins (he can run, rebound and block shots pretty well) at Center. Again, not the best lineup but likely

Ike played 23 minutes... and got 22 points (5/7 FG), 9 rebounds, 2 blocked shots, and went 12/13 from the free throw line (his only miss on that possible 3-point play during the 4th quarter) in a 114-102 whopping on Dallas.
